Two people were taken to a hospital Friday morning after a Subaru SUV veered off Roosevelt Way Northeast and crashed in the 9100 block.

The incident happened about 10:15 a.m. and police Detective Mark Jamieson said two vehicles were involved. The red Subaru fell into an embankment between the sidewalk and an apartment building, and Roosevelt was closed briefly while crews cleaned up spilled fluids.

Jamieson said it was unclear if tickets were issued. The two people did not suffer life-threatening injuries and were taken to a hospital as a precaution for their neck and back pain, Fire Department Lt. Sue Stangl said.
